The European Union intends to push for sanctions against China over its support for Russia in the war against Ukraine. Source: Unnamed EU diplomat in comments to a Politico journalist, as reported by European Pravda Details: The EU made this move following a July report by Reuters, which revealed that Russia had secretly obtained Chinese engines for drones.
How the fuck are you depending on Reuters or any news outlet for this shit? Like don’t they have “intelligence” about this stuff?
You have to go to the very end of the source of the source for this article (two layers deep) to find this:
AKA even their sources aren’t totally selling the story like this.
News articles are just whatever an intelligence agency says anyways, so they’re just saying this instead of “because our [CIA owners’] intelligence says so.”
They need the media to justify it to the masses. And they feed Reuters info they want published anyway.
remarkable isn’t it
Aren’t engines for drones manufactured almost exclusively in China though? Probably most Ukrainian drones use Chinese motors too
I don’t think this is the correct interpretation. This sentence is not an assertion that the EU didn’t know its only establishing a sequence of events. Very often politicians will react to news reports, you know, to save face etc… They just don’t want to appear to let this slide now that the public knows.
HAHAHA, I didn’t even notice this shit.
